Issues fixed
Stuck at the opening screen / Can't start a new game or load a saved game
- The game uses manual-based copy protection, which is also present in all digital re-releases. The question has to be answered every time the game is launched.
Use a cheat code[4] |
---|
On the copy protection screen, input the following number: 0724 (Al Lowe's birthday). Using this code will also skip the intro. |
(alternative) Use a cheat sheet[4] |
